I agree that not being able to do emergency phone calls is unfortunate, but there was a lot of concern about that from a security perspective and the potential for abuse, so that is what we have. One more time: I have posted on multiple occasions here the few things I know of that third party apps can't do for 1.0, due to schedule limitations for the work required or basic security reasons, so this isn't something that has been hidden. If you look at what is limited, it is really rather small, in fact I think we have hit pretty much all of them. For a 1.0 release I am quite happy with what we have, and in a -lot- of places we have managed to push how open things are to a significant degree. This of course isn't the end of things, and we'll continue to evolve as we see what actually happens with devices out there. > imho, on an open platform all apps should be equal.
